Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic summer. Here in Ontario it is almost half over! Eeeek. Where does the time go?

This week's challenge is to use some twine on your project. I know I went through a bit of a twine buying phase a little while ago and managed to amass quite the collection. Most of the packages are not even opened!! I used it on this page about a mini vacation we took to Toronto a while back. I only managed to use one colour but it's got me thinking of how else I can use it.

We love washi tape and we think some of you do too.
That means some of us may have a small stash (okay maybe not that small) of this wonderful stuff!

We challenge you to get out that washi tape and use it on this weeks project.
The more you use the better. We wanna see the many ways that you use your washi tape.

Go forth and be creative!!

Joy

I used 5 colours of washi tape behind the stars I cut on the out of background paper.

Lynne

I do not have much washi tape. It took a lot to convince me that I had to have it.

I used a few small pieces as embellishments to complement the wood veneers.

Barb

I used lots of washi tape on my project.

My apologies for being late this week. I was on vacation in lovely Hawaii. I didn't do this project specifically for this challenge but I thought it was appropriate. I love notebooks. My husband bought me a lovely Moleskine Travel Journal for Mother's Day and I used it for our trip. I couldn't just leave it plain black though so I covered the front with Washi tape. Each tape design coordinates with a leg of the trip and the pages inside are also decorated with Washi. I love my Washi. I've been collecting it for quite a while and am finally using it on all different projects.

When I came up with this challenge I originally planned on working on my son's baby book, but when I sat down to scrap, I was inspired by this picture of my two youngest at Hell's Gate. But there IS a baby in the picture! lol

Hi everyone. Lynne here.
This week I challenge you all to use a 'filmstrip' style on your layout or card. As a scrapper, I take a lot of photos (I am sure you can relate) and while most of us no longer use a camera that produces negatives, I can't help but relate to that 'look'. Have fun.

Milena

I love the look of filmstrips on a page. I think they're a great way to get a lot of photos - especially those with a sequence - on a page.

Welcome to Use Your Stuff

Grab that paper you've been saving, the embellishments that you had to have, the stamps that are too pretty to get "dirty" with ink or the alphabet collection that has grown too big for that drawer. Use Your Stuff!

We know you've got stuff stashed and it's Okay to admit it, this is a safe place. We have them too.
